Hawaiian Pork Roast

This can be made in a slow cooker or oven. Either way, the end result is delicious. You can change the type of pork roast and bacon as well depending on your preferences. Here's what I used...

3 pounds boneless pork sirloin roast
8 ounces Applegate Naturals uncured Sunday bacon (from Sprout's Market)
Hawaiian salt to taste (about 1 tablespoon)

Line the bottom of the roasting pan or slow cooker with the bacon. Place the port roast on top of bacon and sprinkle with the Hawaiian salt. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or cook in the oven at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

We also had this Chicken Tortilla Soup for Super Bowl Sunday

Gluten Free Super Bowl Sloppy Joes

1 red pepper, finely chopped
1 green pepper, finely chopped
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used avocado oil)
6 cups tomato puree
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup turbinado sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
2 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 cup water


In a medium sized pot, cook the diced peppers and onion in the avocado oil over high heat, stirring constantly, until the vegetables have cooked down to a slightly chunky sauce, about 10 minutes. Turn down to medium and add the tomato puree, cider vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring over medium heat. Adjust temperature to low when mixture begins to bubble and cook for approximately 7 minutes until heated thoroughly. Brown the ground beef and turkey in a large skillet. Pour sauce and browned meat into a crockpot and set to low. Add 1 cup water and stir to mix. Continue warming on low 2 - 4 hours. Add water as needed to keep the mixture to a sloppy joe consistency. Serve on gluten free buns.
